| I’ll show you the city when the skies are open
|
| (when you touch down from outer space)
|
| When the glass is glinting and the trees are golden
|
| (when you touch down from outer space)
|
| And the leaves go swirling down the swollen river
|
| (when you touch down from outer space)
|
| Past the covered market where the shoppers shiver…
|
| I’ll show you the skyline from the top of south park
|
| (when you touch down from outer space)
|
| An armageddon sunset on a slick of wet grass
|
| (when you touch down from outer space)
|
| And the saturated souls will smell the bonfires
|
| And watch the shooting stars explode above the dusty church spire…
|
| I can’t wait (i can’t wait)
|
| I can’t wait (i can’t wait)
|
| I can’t wait to introduce you to your new world
|
| I just pray (i just pray)
|
| I just pray (i just pray)
|
| I just pray you’re strong enough to drink it in
|
| I’ll take you daytripping out in the county
|
| (when you touch down from outer space)
|
| See the alien life forms in the open country
|
| (when you touch down from outer space)
|
| And we’ll listen to the nightjars' eerie chirping
|
| Where the pylons stand like cyborgs lurking in the clearing…
|
| I’m so grateful (i'm so grateful)
|
| I’m so grateful (i'm so grateful)
|
| I’m so grateful to be on this expedition
|
| I’ll throw myself (i'll throw myself)
|
| I’ll throw myself (i'll throw myself and every little thing)
|
| I’ll throw everything i have into the mission
|
| And in the calm before the storm
|
| I lie awake and i see these four walls
|
| What i think of as my own world
|
| Won’t be revolving around me much longer
|
| People say (people say)
|
| People say (people say)
|
| People say you’ll change to beyond recognition
|
| So i will need (so i will need)
|
| I will need (i will need to get my mind to be)
|
| I will need to be prepared for my position
|
| I can’t wait (i can’t wait)
|
| I can’t wait (i can’t wait)
|
| I can’t wait to guide you in your exploration
|
| I just pray (i just pray)
|
| I just pray (i just pray)
|
| I just pray you’re strong enough to drink it in |
